gladlylearn.bsky.social @gladlylearn.bsky.social · 11/06/2025And a disgusting, sycophantic, ambition-blinded, worthless moral coward in a general's uniform now running blocking patterns for a Donald Trump. This veteran is heartbroken to see it, but it was only a matter of time. He had generals with backbone last time out, and they disappointed him. 030
gladlylearn.bsky.social @gladlylearn.bsky.social · 11/06/2025"Tax prayer" is about what i feel like every day now enduring the monster in the White House and his smaller filth-devils all over the place.

gladlylearn.bsky.social @gladlylearn.bsky.social · 10/06/2025As a former 82nd Airborne paratrooper who wore the maroon beret a little proudly under Republican and Democratic presidents, impartially, I am horrified at the sight of the monster using troops as shills to attack the biggest, richest, most legendary state in the USA. I hate him all over again. 000

gladlylearn.bsky.social @gladlylearn.bsky.social · 10/06/2025Fucking Douthat. He's become worse than David Brookes, in some ways even worse than Bret Stephens, which really takes so doing. The quality of a Douthat favorite is certainly no surprise. And there he is, embedded in the money, platform, and prestige of the NYT like a blood-swollen tick on a dog. 110
gladlylearn.bsky.social @gladlylearn.bsky.social · 10/06/2025It's not the only thing that's beginning to make me feel like I'm in South Sudan -- unfortunately -- as far as the Rule of Law goes. I know I'm not in the USA where I spent my life, and without even going abroad. 000
gladlylearn.bsky.social @gladlylearn.bsky.social · 10/06/2025They've got the troops -- but we've got the t-shirts.

gladlylearn.bsky.social @gladlylearn.bsky.social · 09/06/2025The Japanese Emperor's 1945 surrender speech on the radio to his defeated and nuked nation, included a sentence that set an unbreakable record for understatement: "The military situation has developed in a way not necessarily to our advantage." Goddess in heaven, I adore the Japanese culture. 010
gladlylearn.bsky.social @gladlylearn.bsky.social · 09/06/2025So this shit-in-a-suit is a partner at Paul Weiss Rifkind, the Biglaw firm that infamously bent the knee to Donald Trump, about one New York minute after he attacked it? It is no coincidence, comrades! 010
